Mundus (DmC)

Mundus  (pronounced "Mon-dus") is the primary antagonist of DmC: Devil May Cry. He is a Demon King of immense power who is the ruler of all demons and most humans. He watches the city through the CCTV system connected to a wall of video monitors in his large office.

Description
A tall, bald man with a scarification tattoo of a third eye on his forehead, and he wears a dapper suit with gold pins on the shoulders. His eyes glow in the dark, and has a scar on his lower lip and chin. Mundus often speaks menacingly to a video image of as he watches his exploits throughout the city.

Mundus also has a penchant for devouring hearts, as he did to Eva in Dante's childhood, and threatened to do so again to Dante when the two later meet.

Personality
Mundus is ruthless, cruel, arrogant and egocentric, even for a demon. He has many megalomaniacal tendencies, and often refers to himself as a god. To further fuel his ego, he has demon followers who believe him to be a god as well, such as Bob Barbas.

Story
Mundus is the leader of the demonic forces, having wrested control over 9,000 years ago. His most trusted ally was none other than his own brother, Sparda. However, Sparda fell for Eva, thus creating the two hybrids Dante and Vergil. This enraged Mundus and he vowed to find them as he inevitably did. He lords over Limbo City from a seat of power in both the demonic realm, and the human world, where he operates under the guise of "Kyle Ryder," a banker who uses Raptor's propaganda to seem a philanthropist. Despite the good public face he shares, he is quite ruthless, operating his business more like a loanshark than a banker, never giving extensions, and reinforcing repurcussions for late customers, He runs his financing business at the heart of Limbo City from the Silversacks Towers. His main goal is to achieve  total control of the human world through debt, a task that is hindered by The Order and Dante.

Powers and Abilities
The extent of Mundus' power is unknown, though it is known that he is one of the most powerful demons in existence. He is a Demon Lord with kingly authority over demons and socio-economic/political advantages over humans, including the President of the United States, whom he threatened to strip of power by collapsing the economy. All of these factors, combined with his own hubris, seem to be enough to make him think of himself as a god. With supreme control over Malice, Mundus can send out crippling waves of energy that instantly twist the city.

Mundus is superhumanly strong. Able to strike with considerable force, enough to shatter thick concrete. He can also overpower angels, most demons, and even Nephilim.

His true form is shown to be a pitch-black humanoid the size and complection of his human disguise, whose body is covered with silver lines and cracks. In this form, Mundus possesses tremendous telekinetic powers, the power to fly, and displays mastery over fire, as he effrotlessly throws Dante a few hundred feet and assembles the whole mass of Limbo City to create a colossal humanoid battle form for battling Dante and Vergil with potent slams and fiery attacks. His weak points are his third eye and his true body, well-hidden in the demonic core of his shell.

Trivia

 * The tattoo on Mundus' forehead is a direct reference to how Mundus appears in much of Devil May Cry, as three glowing orbs forming a downward-pointing triangle
 * In insurance, a "Rider" is a document attached to a policy that modifies coverage. This seems to be in keeping with Mundus' image of a banker who changes policies to keep humans enslaved to him and his name of "Kyle Ryder".
